So I've been testing it out for the past half hour and I'm pretty blown away by how incredible it sounds. As much as I am indifferent to monosynths, I cant deny that this thing sounds beautiful. I made some pads by recording a few individual notes and then summing them to one sample that I could trigger in my sampler and I was fucking blown away. Would LOVE to see a poly version but for now I guess this will have to do <3

@flashback23 Must be tone2 your thinking about u-he have never did anything like that.
Only bad thing one could say about them is they never have sales ,only when there plugins are in beta can you get them cheaper.

Yeah Diva is a polysynth with a different character.
This of course an emulation of the Pro-One so this always designed to be monophonic.
Pro-One was designed around the legendary Prophet 5 and meant to be a smaller monophonic partner of sorts.
Turned out that Pro-One mixed waveforms different to Prophet 5 and had better modulation options amongst other things.
Important thing was the curtis chip used on the filters.
3320 filter chip was used in both Pro-One and Prophet 5 as well as a few other well known synths.
That's why Urs spent some time testing filters etc and developing the filter algorithms in the alpha.
Filters on this thing will be intense and it will be able to do some cool stuff other synths can't I expect.
CPU in alpha was sometimes off the wall but I expect they will bring this down substantially like they did with Diva etc.
Like written Monophonic synths can do some very cool things indeed but like everything u gotta spend some time with them.
GUI looks so cool
Like all u-he stuff expect this to be complete quality and seems a real good price to bag it now if u able

I downloaded this and stuck it on my non music pc and, surprisingly so as I'm a u-he fanboy, I'm quite underwhelmed by it.
I've been following the development on kvr and was looking forward to igniting some old synapses from days past, but nope, it was not to be.
Turn off the effects and it's a little emperor clothes.
I liked the second preset and that was the highlight of the whole experience.
It may well, according to some, be really accurate and modelled to the nth degree, but I don't recall the pro 1 being so naked.
I'm definitely passing on this.

Just tried it too and yeah, freaking heavy monop possibilities. Not sure if it's "better" than Monark and other well established monophatters. My bet is it's different. Honestly nothing revolutionnary at first sight and first hour tweaking it but a big ass monophonic plugin at 99$?

I have to say I've sort of changed my opinion from my first experience with RP1 as written above. I haven't bought it yet, but have tried the latest version and I do think it's sounding authentic and is a great example of what U-he can release.
I'll probably get it when the poly is available if it as good as expected and I'll be sure to demo that one without the ear muffs on.

Didn't find the second preset from the beta in the latest demo, though truth is it might be there but I forget the name. Anyone know that second preset or have the h2p or fxp?
